My stay at Hotel Simper in Istanbul was a mix of positives and negatives. While I appreciated the central location near Sultanahmet and found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the room quality left much to be desired. I experienced noise from the street and issues with cleanliness that ultimately overshadowed the good aspects of my stay.

I appreciated the helpful staff, especially on my first day, but I encountered other inconveniences that detracted from my experience.
